Well it has been a while since i have typed a post, i guess i don't really have too much of an audience to read them so it gets a little disheartening. woe is me,
Today is weigh in day, and i should be very excited by my results but I'm so tired i don't have any emotion towards it, maybe a little disappointment that its so damned slow. I clocked in at 96 today that's 1.1kg loss this week. i was hoping for more as i was working hard all week.
I am trying my best to be more active, these last few days my vertigo has been bad. I'm trying to figure out which exercises are causing it and at this stage i can only think of biceps ( as i felt it pulling down my neck and shoulders ) and the floor crunches, i will need to get back on the ball to do them.
I am streamlining my nutrition plans so that i can change the days i don't like. when i get it sorted i will take a pic and show you .
I was dropping my mum home on Monday and we both saw a couple of ladies running whilst wearing Kangoo Jumps. i remember buying something similar for my kids when they were young. these ones are designed for adults and i want a pair. i really really want some , so i asked the universe for some for my birthday in May. Lets hope the universe was listening.
I also was lucky enough to use the 12wbt discount and get myself a new water bottle and i am seriously a sucker for a water bottle. it is true that i can always be found trying different ones and spending hundreds over the years on water bottles because the last one i bought didn't seem good enough. so far i am enjoying my Kor One. the only thing that's weird is the lid is rather big and tends to annoy me when i drink it front on. i will need to get into the habit of drinking with the lid to the side , meaning I'm actually drinking out of the side of the bottle and not the front. it will take some getting used to but overall the spout is uber comfy and smooth, it has a very generous sized opening so you are getting a good amount of water flow. the colours are good. the price is reasonable even to the point of me going to order a couple more over the next few weeks as i really want to try drink 3 litres of water a day and see if it helps.
they can be bought from http://www.korwater.com.au
I also wanted to reflect on my weight loss. During this journey i have felt it going really slowly, even when the cm's lost are right there in front of me i tend to still be impatient. Today it seems like all of a sudden i can tell. The way my shape is changing, that my breasts are shrinking . That in itself is no easy task, i have wanted my breasts back down to an E cup for years ,, even a DD would be good for my back, but then the tart in me says nooooooo Damian loves them what will he think when they are smaller? I'm thinking he probably won't really care because he is enjoying the benefits of me losing the weight.
7kg , you think it would be alot wouldn't you ? but compared to someone who already weighs, 80kg, then them losing 7 would be a oh wow look at you moment.. when you start at 103 then 7kg is not much more than a ripple in a pond. i have a long way to go on my journey, I'm almost a quarter of the way there. So now it is that i notice a few things, my face i think is smaller, my measurements are smaller and now i feel my breasts are shrinking. While i was exercsising this morning i had to stop and readjust my puppies, tightening up my shoulder straps on my bra and constantly fiddling, As i was jumping around and jogging i could feel my breasts jostling like little roller derby players inside my bra cup.
It made me chuckle when i told mum, gosh they feel like they are inside a hollow ball being thrown around all over the place screaming and trying to clutch to the sides. :) i even gave her a demo.
So it is with mixed emotions that my wonderfully bountiful Tata's are disappearing. yay to new sexier bras though, i have to keep looking to that. I suppose when they are all empty and hanging off my chest like a potato sack with only one tater in it i will be able to roll them up and plop them into a sexier bra. They may need a little extra taping in by then but at least i will be skinnier. i will just have to make sure i am never caught in heavy winds whilst topless , I'm thinking a good gust will pick these babies up and have them blowing back over my shoulder possibly into my face.
i can feel the muscle tone in my legs, as for my tummy, well i can tell its smaller, i can look down and not see tummy bulging out past my boobs but i still have so damned far to go.
I think my confidence may be boosting a little in the romance department as i feel a little more desirable as i go on, this in itself with spur me on, that and the kids giving me so much encouragement is helping me in many ways. Even Tatjahna giving me the occasional shoulder rub is helping me be able to function better the day after toning.
I am going to try harder this week with food, and see what kind of results i get next week.
